MUMBAI: In a boost for self-redevelopment, a govt-appointed committee has proposed offering 10% additional carpet area to residents of housing societies opting for the scheme.
In self-redevelopment, residents redevelop their buildings themselves without a builder. This allows them to enjoy all the construction benefits and profits, which would otherwise go to the developer.
On Monday, a committee headed by BJP MLC Pravin Darekar submitted its report to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis at a function at Vidhan Bhavan. The recommendations will be forwarded to the housing, cooperatives and urban development departments.The govt will issue a decision regarding the recommendation made by the study group and a report on the work done in this regard will be submitted in the upcoming session. These important decisions will help in accelerating the work of pending housing projects in the state and help Mumbaikars realise their dream of beautiful and big houses," said Fadnavis.
The committee has recommended extending the scheme to cluster redevelopment, where more than one housing society can come together for the project. The minimum area required The minimum area required for such cluster self-redevelopment schemes will be 2,000 sq m as against 4,000 sq m for the regular cluster redevelopment scheme.
Each occupant in a cluster self-redevelopment scheme will be entitled to a minimum of 376.73 sq ft flat. In case of non-residential occupant, the carpet area to be given in the reconstructed building will be equivalent to the carpet area occupied in the old building.
In case of slum-dwellers, the household will be entitled to 300 sq ft.
